YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA major incident has been declared at beaches on the south coast of England with police warning people to stay away as services struggle to cope.
Thousands of people turned up to beaches in Bournemouth for a second day with temperatures soaring to 33.3C on the hottest day of the year so far.
Officials were forced to declare a major incident as services struggled to manage the crowds of people. Footage posted online showed people flooding off trains already in their swimming gear. There have also been reports of fights breaking out and authorities are struggling to cope with tonnes of litter that has been left behind.
Bournemouth East MP Tobias Ellwood told LBC that people on the packed beaches are "selfish" and that the emergency services are entirely overstretched.
He said he "would hate" to see Bournemouth as a catalyst for a second pandemic peak.
Extra police patrols have been brought in at Bounemouth beach and security is in place to protect refuse crews who the council said faced "widespread abuse and intimidation" as they emptied overflowing bins.
Thirty-three tonnes of waste was cleaned up along the full stretch of coastline on Thursday morning, in addition to eight tonnes collected between the piers on Wednesday, the council said.
It issued 558 parking enforcement fines, a record number, and said extra parking enforcement is now in place.
